The contract commenced on 1st April 2025 and will run until 31st March 2026, with an annual value of £428,249.

This tender presents a substantial growth opportunity for businesses within the health services sector, particularly those proficient in integrated working with community health networks. It benefits providers that focus on social value, healthcare access, reducing inequalities, and fostering innovation and quality. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in delivering social prescribing services, like Wellbeing Enterprises CIC, would be well-suited to compete for similar contracts. Implementing such services can enhance a business’s reputation in healthcare provision and open doors to future contracting opportunities within the NHS framework.

## Notice
